For Keir Starmer, "this is as good as it gets" says Andrew Marr.
Subscribe on RU-vid:
Andrew Marr argues that Keir Starmer hopes to become Prime Minister at the next election. However, as leader of the opposition with a huge lead in the polls, he has arguably more freedom right now than he will have in government. So what will the Labour leader do with it? Well, it depends on the timing of the next election. But there are some things Starmer must address immediately: a clear message on the £28bn green investment plan, an answer to the challenges of poverty and inequality, and to decide whether he is the "heir" to Tony Blair, or something different altogether.

@@MrTimg12 They're not required to be politically neutral they're required to present the facts. Unfortunately the tories have managed to install party faithfulls to senior roles in the news division. Robbie Gibb is one of those and he has appointed himself arbiter of impartiality. Impartiality is in itself a falsehood, it forces - for example a scientist with 5 PHDs to be challenged by a conspiracy theorist who thinks physics is a lie. It undermines accurate reporting of facts. To be politically neutral is to relay those facts, if they turn out to be politically toxic maybe politicians shouldn't engage in behaviour that is toxic.

Not only is Starmer not a Blair (which is not necessarily a problem) but the country is not as it was in 1997. People are more pessimistic, more cynical about politicians and the country's finances are in a far worse state. If Starmer is cautious maybe it is because he is acutely aware that he must not over promise and under deliver or in 5 years time he could easily lose power before he has had the chance to put in place the changes that need to happen.

@MrArchie800 5 месяцев назад

It's probably an easier argument to flip than many people might think: I’m not well off but would happily pay a bit more tax to (properly) sort out public services and reinstate some of the things we’ve lost during the Tory reign e.g. community centres, police stations (and actual police), libraries, NHS, Care, teachers etc. I could go on. But the interesting thing is all the people I speak to (mostly struggling financially) nevertheless agree with this sentiment. It seems to be mostly rich people who object to higher tax rather than poor people who rely on public services.

@RichardLamsdale 5 месяцев назад

@@MrArchie800 i agree. I don’t think they should talk about raising taxes, but should challenge the tax cuts that will come in the next Budget - on top of the last ones, they will force more austerity and cuts.

Andrew Marr is particularly accurate on the taxation argument. The Labour Party should have been making the case for more tax in return for more efficient public services for decades, drawing comparisons with other European countries. By not doing so it has allowed the Tories to convince joe public that tax is bad and egregiously hollow out the state since 2010. If Labour shies away this time it simply won't be able to fund the reforms to our crumbling public sector when in government.

@traviscutler9912 5 месяцев назад

The Independent's article on how the Corporate side of the Labour Party conspired to sabotage Jeremy Corbyn's leadership so that he would lose to Theresa May who they preferred and be replaced with a more corporate friendly leadership like Tony Blair. The truth is Starmer and his ilk preferred Boris Johnson than real actual help for the working class and unless this corporate capture of the Labour Party is rooted out it will be more of the same. Wars, corporate greed and the hollowing out of Britain for the benefit of the 1%. The system works.

@davidmrenton 5 месяцев назад

more tax is a proven way to make a country poorer, more money does not equate to more efficient services. We saw that under blair, he upped the NHS budget , worse results.

Would love to hear Starmer make the case for higher taxes and public investment. Not Scandinavian levels, but more in line with the rest of northern Europe. And as for the old trope that we can't afford it, the ONS puts average household disposable income at around £30k which amounts to around £600 billion of disposable income as a country. We spend around £10 billion going to coffee shops (about the same as what we spend on children's social care). We have a choice; we can spend our money on more and more holidays, meals out, tat to show off on Facebook, etc or we can spend it investing in our future via improvements to education, infrastructure, national debt repayments, etc. I think now is a good time to have that debate.

Disposable as in money that's left after you've paid all your bills. So whilst some people definitely are struggling, the country as a whole isn't. As for interest rates, they're high to bring down down inflation. Increasing taxes would also also help bring down inflation.

Welll said Andrew. Labour could be messaging to grow the economy so we're all richer, as opposed to much money to the rich to make them richer. It is not difficult at all: - it takes 25-30 years to change the UK economy - you have to make homes which young women feel they can bring a baby into the world - you need nursery and childcare so a women feels they can return to work - you need schools focusing children on maths, science, engineering, manufacturing so we grow an engineering manufacturing future generation - then sit back and let UK talent then do the rest. We begin with home building, childcare, and education. Get those right and 25-30 years later those people you caused to exist from good homes through good schools will solve their own problems their way. We just have to survive the slings'n'arrows of those who made their money a century, or two, earlier, who own newspapers and TV channels here and abroad who just want us thick, poor, and divided.

@@tri-clawgaming7682Mr Starmer isn't posh! He's from a working class background his father was a sole trader who rented a unit making tools, so worked long hours. His mum a nurse who developed a serious debilitating illness. He remembers their phone being cut off because they couldn't pay the bill. He worked hard and became head of the CPS and Director of Public Prosecutions for which he was knighted for his public service. He's a serious, capable and decent man. As a teacher you should hope he gets into power and investing in Education. Maybe invest in a dictionary? Inheritance? All the best.

@mawin5899 5 месяцев назад

The problem this time around is that historically the conservatives will have built up a budget surplus which can be inherited by Labour and spent. You can vote Labour to open the purse strings and pump money into the public sector whereupon it will 'trickle down' through outsource contracts (PPI) and into wage packets and circulate back into the economy creating a nice boom time. On this occasion however... there is no surplus to spend. How can Labour do what Labour does if the Conservatives have been running public services the same way 'new labour' did in the 2000s. If todays equivalent of Liam Byrne walks out of the Conservative run treasury leaving the same note "I'm afraid there is no money" for his successor Labour will have little choice but to continue the all round decline of the last 14 years. So why bother voting for them?

Andrew really hits the nail on the head. Excellent analysis of past and present leaders and, of what the country needs now! Back then, Labour, and the people of this country, needed Blair. Now, Labour, and the people of this country, need Starmer. Different people, politicians . But, both perfect for the country at their moments in time.

Yes it was a very good video by Andrew Marr, but one of the present main issues, if not the main (external) issue is the terrible situation in Palestine. I am very disappointed with Biden’s policies with the horror that has prevailed. Steamer must not follow & has to completely rethink on this major problem. Otherwise, votes will be lost.

It's safer certainly not to get carried away in the polls though I think he can maintain confidence based upon recent bi-elections. They are well overperforming. It's the same reason I wouldn't get to panicked about the prospect of another Trump presidency, when his party is constantly underperforming, especially given the current economy.
